\uD83E\uDD45 Agenda
Update from WMO Secretariat (David)
Reflect on the IM guide development process
What Went Well | What Could Have Gone Better | What Should We Start/Stop |
|---|---|---|
Section rough draft | Collaborative space | Start: enlist a team member in hydrology |
Best effort by everyone | Allocation of effort | having a style guide earlier |
Alignment with other guidance material | Scope of guide | Process for better aligning with other guidance documents (ET-DRC is developing a framework for rolling reviewing.); Manual on Code; climate data model; Things are evolving - also big effort on review of climate-related WIS Manual (2 Vols) - matching the Guide → potentially split into two vols → keep in mind how to manage this. |
Discuss team priority for next 6-12 months - see ET-IM TOR below
Schedule next meeting: Thurs Sept 15 Same time slot
Other issues (William)
HQ-GDMFC updates;
WMO No 1131 updates - metadata issues;
OPENCDMS - brief report on collaborations with CliDE/CliDEsc colleagues;
DayCli - Handbook. Assistance sought with message format/BUFR sequence;
CLIMAT SHIP - is it still a thing? (I have been in touch with NCEI and DWD colleagues and WMO Secretariat staff. They are unaware of any recent submissions or even requirements, yet CLIMAT SHIP still appears in the Manual on Codes 2022 updated version).
